The Soquel Union Elementary School District is overseeing the Santa Cruz Gardens Elementary School Field, Track, and Amphitheater Project located at 8005 Winkle Ave, Santa Cruz, California. This project focuses on the renovation of the existing school field and surrounding areas to enhance safety and accessibility for students and the community. The scope of work includes converting the current grass field to an artificial turf surface and installing a new track, scoreboard, and amphitheater. Additionally, the project involves the development of a new parking lot and fire road, along with related site work such as minor grading, landscaping, and utility improvements. The project is classified under NAICS code 237990 and has been issued a Notice of Exemption under multiple California Environmental Quality Act classes, including Class 1, 2, 3, 4, 11, 14, and 23. This designation confirms that the project consists of minor alterations that will not increase student capacity or change the school's primary use, and therefore will not result in significant environmental impacts. Primary administrative contact for the project is Pam Crum, Bond and Facility Manager, and Alison Warner, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services.
